This album is sickeningly good. I'll put it to you this way, I want the chorus (as simple as it is) to King Me as a tattoo. Simply my favorite song of all time, hands down. Yes, I am that crazy about the song, and the album as a whole. A testament to my insanity, I suppose.

All in all it is a very good album, but it has a couple of flaws that keeps it back from achieving the perfection it shoud have, It is not quite as catchy as the older stuff, while this could be seen as a boon to other fans I find it a little disappointing. The vast majority of tracks are brilliant, but there are a few which are relatively stale, which is a shame: which brings me onto the biggest flaw I had with the album; it is too long. It's too long considering the fact that some of the songs are very similar. You should definitely pick it up if you're a fan, but don't expect to be blown away, which is a shame because it could very easily have been their best album yet.…Expand

Lamb of God belongs to the last great trinity of heavy metal, Mastodon and Triviun accompany them. The goal of this generation was to bring the metal to another galaxy, pulling it out of the black hole that, right or wrong, the new metal had generated.

The goal of this generation was to bring the metal to another galaxy, pulling it out of the black hole that, right or wrong, the new metal had generated. While Mastodon and Trivium have released the mythological side in their proposals, Lamb of God take political courses of Slayer and Megadeth to impregnate his lyrics with a broader line of understanding with the generations of thrash. Aurally all elements are in place: the union between her rhythmic bass and drums John Campbell Chris Adler is simply overwhelming, a perfection of execution that several new bands such as Rise to Remian, would like to dominate. As if it were a military union, Mark Morton and Willie Adler not only do not play a note more or out of place in their guitars, song after song rather give lessons in composition and imagination among choirs, openings and feedback. These elements seem logical for any fan of metal but are notable Resolution due to the process of recording medium. The album can at times sounding like simple noise, misunderstanding that every metal band must overcome. Blythe's voice is another interesting element because it has several moments where the tone varies abruptly, but valid, and that give the songs an air of mobility and intelligence to not only adapt to the tremendous voice and heavy metal band behind it. Despite this, the album, or rather the band, could make this album the best since MastodonÃ…Expand

Resolution is vintage Lamb of God. Hard, fast, chugging, technical and brutal. However, they're not so much as trying anything new, but a mix of what they've done before. There are a few Ashes of the Wake like songs, one Sacrament like song, and mostly Wrath and As the Palaces Burn like-songs. This is a problem.

However, they're not so much as trying anything new, but a mix of what they've done before. There are a few Ashes of the Wake like songs, one Sacrament like song, and mostly Wrath and As the Palaces Burn like-songs. This is a problem. For some reason, the drumming on each album gets progressively more and more boring. More blastbeats, less toms, more single cymbals than a mix. Theres no "Ruin" like fills here. As well, the guitarists on this ablum sometimes sacrifice a good or catchy riff to merely be technical. Lamb of God shouldn't be trying to impress anyone. A few years ago they were the forefront of a massive metal scene. Now, they're one of the few remaining metal bands with integrity. If you're a fan, pick this up, you'll like it, and it rewards repeat listening. But this album isn't anything new, and isn't better than the last three albums. Lamb of God needs to get back to their roots, to say to themselves, as the lyrics of Laid to Rest say; "who gives a **** They don't need to impress anyone. They just need to be themselves.…Expand

Lamb of God are one of the very few metal bands that are unable to disappoint. Each of their albums remains heavy and creative, yet they all simultaneously carry the kind of weight many metal bands only strive to reach. With Resolution, Lamb of God have proven that they don't plan on slowing down any time soon. This is miles ahead of Wrath, and their best album since Ashes of the Wake. AllLamb of God are one of the very few metal bands that are unable to disappoint. Each of their albums remains heavy and creative, yet they all simultaneously carry the kind of weight many metal bands only strive to reach. With Resolution, Lamb of God have proven that they don't plan on slowing down any time soon. This is miles ahead of Wrath, and their best album since Ashes of the Wake. All band members continue to show creativity in highlight songs such as album opener Straight For the Sun, Ghost Walking, The Undertow, The Number Six, and their best album closer yet, King Me. To say that these are highlights of the album, however, also would imply that they're "better" songs. That's the beauty of this album as well...there is no filler. Each song serves its purpose and illustrates why Lamb of God are one of the best modern metal bands of the era, and thankfully, they're here to stay. Thank God for Lamb of God.…Expand

The Richmond quintet's usual uniformity of sound, production, and performance strikes many like a concrete dam, and Resolution takes 10-15 minutes too long to resolve, but there's no arguing with a rabid dog called "Cheated."

It may be just another platter of product from this Richmond, Virginia, crew, fit for mosh pit incitements, but it's also a harrowing and hypnotic package of wound-up, meticulously arranged aggro-bombs by a veteran team of low-end hatemongers.
